The UN's top court has ordered Uganda to pay the Democratic Republic of Congo 285 million euros over a war two decades ago. The sum represents just a fraction of what Kinshasa originally demanded. The ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Wednesday comes as a blow to DR Congo after it sought a massive 9.6 billion euros in reparations over the devastating conflict that lasted from 1998 to 2003.Judges said Kinshasa had failed to prove its African neighbour was directly responsible
